You mean , I need to maintain a fork of autoconf for this project ;) To me even if this is slower, the right fix is to avoid removing core if this is a directory. It will be difficult for me to convince upstream to use autoconf if it needs to change it's code due to this bug. cheers, Frederic _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
